“Please,” she cried, squirming as he played with her. “I need you.”
She’d never needed anyone with the desperation she needed him. Was this the feeling she’d been missing for so many years? She should have known Walker would be the answer. They’d always been closer than normal friends. Always clicked in a way she’d never been able to replicate with anyone else. It made sense that connection would extend into the bedroom, too.
“Dammit, Walker,” she shouted as he grazed her clit oh so gently with his teeth. Pleasure shot through her, pooling between her legs. As good as he was making her feel, she wanted more. Wanted something more substantial than his wicked tongue.
“Please, please, please,” she said, pulling at his shoulders to bring him back up to her. “I can’t wait any longer.”
His grin was pure male. “Maybe I like making you wait.”
She reached down, encircling his hard cock with her hand. “I’m all for playing,” she said, pumping her fist over him until he groaned. “But right now, I want to feel you inside me. Can you really tell me you don’t want that, too?”
He dropped his head against her collarbone as she rubbed her thumb over the crown of his cock. “I’m ready for you,” she whispered into his ear. “So hot and wet. Do you really want to make us both wait?”
“That would make me a very dumb man,” he panted.
“And we both know you’re brilliant. Prove it.”
Dropping a kiss on her shoulder, he moved off her and fished his pants from the floor. Pushing up on her elbows, she watched him rifle through the pockets with a desperation that had satisfaction spiraling through her.
“Got it,” he said, pulling a condom from his pocket.
She laughed as he came back to her. “Your pocket, hmm? Guess I was a sure thing.”
He kissed her with a burning intensity. “I was hopeful. One thing I’ve learned in my career is to be prepared for anything.”
“Is that so?” She twined her arms over her head and pushed her breasts up against his chest.
“But I could never be prepared for you.”
The soft words froze her teasing. She looked up into his serious gaze and realized he wasn’t joking.
“Me too,” she said, her humor and excitement stalling for a moment. Cupping his face between her hands, she kissed him softly. “I can plan for everything. Every twist in a story, every lie in an interview. But nothing could ever make me ready for this. You break all my rules, Walker, and I love you for it anyway.”
He stilled over her and she realized what she’d said. “As a friend, I mean.”
“As a friend,” he agreed. “We are excellent friends.”
“The very best.”
“I look forward to getting even closer.” A salacious grin crossed his face as he unrolled the condom onto himself.
“Can’t wait.” The words were strangled as he shifted her under him.
“No going back in a second,” he said. “Are you sure about this?”
She ran her fingers over his jawbone. “I want you,” she promised. “I’m sure if you are.”
“Haven’t you realized?” he asked, kissing the tip of her toes. “You’re my fantasy come to life, sweetheart.”
Catching her gaze with his, he pushed forward into her.
Clara gasped, throwing her head back at the feeling of him filling her to the brim. Her body stretched to accommodate him until he was fully seated within her.
“Christ, you’re tight,” he groaned, his fingers digging into her hips.
“Again,” she sighed.
Taking her lips with his, he withdrew only to thrust back into her.
Clara moaned against his mouth, wrapping an arm around him as he rocked into her. Each stroke sent pleasure rushing along every nerve ending. She’d never needed anyone like this before. Bending her knees, she pulled him in deeper as they moved together with a rhythm that felt too right.
“More,” she breathed, throwing back her head so he could run his mouth down her throat. He bit the skin at her nape, making her clench around him.
“Come on, Clara,” he whispered in her ear. “Take what you need.”
She bit her lip, closing her eyes as the pleasure swamped over her. She was so close. Just a little more and she’d break apart in his arms.
And she didn’t want to miss that moment. Opening her eyes, she stared up at her best friend as the best orgasm of her life crept closer.
“Don’t stop,” she begged.
“Never.” His promise was immediate.
Stroke after stroke sent her higher until she trembled on the edge, her climax so close she could almost taste it.
